Hello all,

I stumbled upon this paper [1] if anyone is interested. They 
implement a network driver (in user space) in 9 different 
languages and compare the results. D is not one of them.


surprisingly well, but other languages perform poorly. I think 
that D could outperform Rust.

Anyway, I think this opens the door for a publication with Alex 
Militaru's work [2].
He actually ported the driver to D and integrated it into the 
kernel which is a more realistic approach if the kernel would 
ever be transitioned to a different language.

What are your thoughts?

Best regards,
RazvanN
